The Corpus Callosum is the largest commissure, which facilitates communication between the right and left hemispheres of the brain. The views on the value of the Corpus Callosum are varied: from the most "useless" to those defining the higher cognitive functions of human brain structure.

The negative or positive experiences of early childhood play a very significant role in the development of the social and emotional behavior of an individual. According to Fagundes, Bennett, Derry, and Kiecolt-Glaser (2011), the ability to understand the social and emotional behavior of an adult is complex because it requires one to have a comprehensive understanding of their entire lifespan (p. 40).

This is especially important for a leader, as one could even argue that an important portion of one’s leadership skills depend on one’s emotional intelligence. Therefore, organizations should be aware of this variable in order to better manage their human resources, ...

Cognitive development in children parallels with brain development. By early childhood (2 to 4 years of age), children begin to recognize, recall and use information in a context. The child’s experience with the immediate environment will continue to prune his/her cognitive process.

As cognition develops, the child is able to understand stories that are told and will begin to understand certain complex explanation. They also begin to learn languages and try applying it in different situations. (Keels 381-397) ...

Adolescence is a developmental period of individuals aged 13-19, which has its own peculiarities to distinguish between childhood and adulthood. Adolescents’ brain is not fully matured and is still subject to rapid development, which explains specific changes in youths’ reflecting and behavior.

Internet on Children

Abstract The Internet continues to raise controversy in recent years about existing and potentials harms and (more shyly, benefits), particularly by parents and pediatricians.

This paper argues, in contrast, for practical and confirmed benefits of Internet use for cognitive and social skills.
